Sidney Powell and his multi-million dollar lawsuits
One of the most controversial figures of the four cited by the committee is Sidney Powell. After the election, the lawyer began to spread conspiracy theories against the businessman Majed Khalil .
Powell along with Fox News mentioned that Khalil had been a participant in an effort to “fix” the election result in favor of Joe Biden.
Khalil still keeps a active lawsuit against Powell. The American lawyer seeks to neutralize said claim by awarding the “First Amendment” as part of her defense.
Sidney Powell was one of the people who most pressured the Trump conspiracy theories. However, in December he had to pay more than 550 thousand dollars after being sanctioned by the Jjudge Linda Parker after presenting efforts to give votes to Donald Trump in the state of Michigan.
After the event, Powell may be disabled from practice law .
